Our community were greatly shocked,
Saturday afternoon, at the sudden news
of the death of Mrs. III. j. Delong, of
whom we will write hereafter, and of
Mrs. Merrill Bingham, who died of ty-
phoid pneumonia at her mothers home
April s. \ brother, Mr.. Towner, a bach
elor, well along in years, who lived at
home with his mother, died the same day,
of the same disease, going only few
hours before. Services were held at the
home for both on Sunday. The remains
of Mrs. Bingham, by her request, were
placed by her former husband, Mr.. Fitch,
and their little child, both of whom died
several years ago. Mrs. Bingham had
spent large share of her time the past
year with her aged and feeble mother,
caring for her as none but loving
daughter could do. Great pity is felt for
this aged mother, thus bereft of a son
and daughter. Mrs. bingham was the
second wife of Merrill Bingham, with
whom she had lived over twenty years,
and she had been kind to his children and
cared well for her husband in his declin-
ing years. TO her help, and all with
whom she associated, she was ever
thoughtful and kind, giving beautifully
from her store to any and all who needed
her aid. She was nearly forty-seveI
years of age and was person who enjoy
ed to the fullest the good things of this
life and tried to have all around her share
her comforts and pleasures. All who
have enjoyed her hospitality in her pleas
ant home will long keep in their memory
her pleasant face and genial manners
May He who keeps us in the hollow o
his hand watch over and care for thos'
left behind, who looked to her for carr
and comfort as the years crept on, anC
make them to say, may our great loss b'
to her greater gain.
